Free Stylerz, the annual dance show of Pinto's Dance Academy had all the exuberance and energy that you'd expect from a well-trained, talented group of dancers. For the thirteenth consecutive year, Roni Pinto and his crew treated the audience to their foot-tapping performance. The Coimbatore Institute of Techonology auditorium reverberated with hit Bollywood and Kollywood numbers, as well as peppy English and Telugu tracks.
Little girls danced like Shakira in their black leather skirts and glittery tops. They danced to Waka Waka , followed by yet another glittery group of youngsters who danced to Hadippa . The kids were a hit with the audience.
Pinto and a group of young men then took to stage to rapturous applause. Their smooth moves and showmanship for a medley of Tamil hits including those from Rajinikanth's Enthiran wowed the audience.
The youngsters came on stage again. The little girls dressed in sequined off-shoulder frocks and boys in colour-coordinated leather outfits were a sheer delight to watch. Even their onstage fumbles were too cute to not smile. There was also a hip-hop and jazz performance by four boys which totally enthralled the audience.
The proceeds, amounting to Rs. 1 lakh, were later donated to Presentation Convent Rehabilitation Centre for special children in Kinathukadavu, Family Care- an organisation that works for the deaf and, Sankara Eye Hospital. Two children, in need of medical aid, also received grants. It was also announced that Roni Pinto was adopting four children from Families for Children, a non-profit organisation in Podanur that houses destitute children and women.
